Cardiac (More at Heart Center)
McKenzie-Willamette offers cardiac and neuro diagnostic testing and test interpretation 24 hours a day for both inpatients and outpatients. The clinic is staffed by an experienced team of physicians and medical professionals including accredited electroencephalogram technicians, registered echo sonographers and certified cardiovascular technicians.
The clinic is open around the clock for emergency testing. Appointments are available for non-emergency studies from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. A physician's order is required for diagnostic testing. To learn more or schedule an appointment, contact us at 541-744-6000.
We provide physician-ordered tests to patients of all ages to assess conditions such as dizziness, abnormal heart rhythm, heart racing, fluttering and hypertension. Neurologic diagnostic testing, provided by registered EEG technicians, helps identify abnormal electrical activity in the brain such as seizures, coma, brain death, the presence of a tumor or stroke. This information helps your physician to establish a plan for treatment or follow-up tests, if needed.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
This test allows for monitoring of blood pressure during normal activities of daily living. It provides the ability to see what happens to blood pressure at all times, not just during the doctor's appointment.
Electrocardiograms, Holter monitors and event monitors measure the electrical activity in the heart (the body's way of making the heart muscle pump blood). Echocardiograms show video recordings of the heart muscle, valves and vessels as the heart beats. Heart muscle contraction, blood flow and valve function are observed and assessed. Nuclear Medicine Stress EKGs display electrical rhythms of the heart and blood flow through the coronary vessels.
